Deep dive into the Supreme Court’s decision in Symon Wairobi Gatuma v Kenya Breweries Limited

It is now well understood that any unilateral amendment to an employment contract amounts to an unfair labour practice under section 45 of the Employment Act 11 of 2007 (the Employment Act). This has recently been reiterated by the Supreme Court of Kenya in Symon Wairobi Gatuma v Kenya Breweries Limited and Three Others, Petition E023 of 2023 (the Supreme Courtdecision).   The Supreme Court decision is, however, more than just a decision on unilateral amendments to employment contracts. It addresses and provides guidance as to how to treat employees during business restructuring exercises and redundancies.

Lender’s victory: Essential strategies for effective security enforcement

On 11 November 2024, the High Court in East African Cables PLC v Equity Bank (Kenya) Limited KEHC 14009 (KLR) delivered a ruling that reaffirmed the strong position of secured creditors in enforcing security. When East African Cables PLC (the borrower) defaulted on a KES 1.7 billion loan that was granted to it by Equity Bank (the bank), the court upheld the bank’s right to exercise its statutory power of sale over the charged properties despite the borrower’s attempts to block the process. This ruling reinforces key legal principles regarding the enforceability of different types of security and offers valuable lessons for lenders on how to navigate borrower disputes and ensure smooth enforcement of their rights.

Beyond status: Parameters of section 198D of the LRA, and competent relief for current and former employees

Section 198D of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) contains general provisions applicable to sections 198A to 198C, and vests the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) or bargaining council with the power to conciliate and arbitrate any dispute related to the interpretation or application of these subsections. This includes disputes related to the status of the employment relationship between a temporary employee and the client of a temporary employment service (TES). Once the CCMA determines that the employee is deemed an employee of the client in terms of section 198A(3)(b), is the scope of section 198D wide enough to empower the CCMA to grant substantive relief? What about those who are no longer “ employed ” at the time of lodging a dispute?
